Why Choose the Pizzato NSE3TE1SMK-F40 Safety Interlock Switch?
The Pizzato NSE3TE1SMK-F40 is a robust RFID safety interlock switch with solenoid locking designed for machine guarding applications in industrial automation systems. Manufactured by Pizzato Elettrica, it is part of the NS series safety switch family widely used to protect operators and control access to hazardous machinery.
This device is typically installed on safety doors, hinged guards, sliding panels, and machine access points. It prevents machinery from operating while a guard is open, helping ensure compliance with EN ISO 14119 functional safety standards and modern industrial safety requirements.
The NSE3TE1SMK-F40 uses a low-level coded F40 RFID actuator system, meaning it accepts any compatible F40 actuator. This provides flexibility for installation, maintenance, and replacement while maintaining reliable safety performance in industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- Reliable RFID safety interlock with solenoid locking.
- F40 low-level coded actuator system for flexible interchangeability.
- Designed for industrial machine safety and automation systems.
- Dual-channel safety outputs for PLC and safety relay integration.
- Integrated monitoring of guard position and lock status.
- Durable industrial construction for harsh environments.
Key Features
- Pizzato NS series safety interlock switch with locking function.
- Solenoid locking mechanism with fail-safe de-energised release principle.
- RFID-coded actuator system (F40 low-level coding).
- 2 safety outputs (OS1–OS2).
- Actuator insertion and lock status signalling outputs.
- TE1 configuration with rear escape release for emergency exit safety.
- Industrial sealed housing suitable for demanding environments.
Advanced Machine Guard Safety Control
The NSE3TE1SMK-F40 ensures machinery remains safely disabled whenever guards are open or not properly secured. The solenoid locking mechanism prevents access until safe operating conditions are achieved, while the RFID system detects the presence of a compatible F40-coded actuator.
The integrated TE1 escape release function allows controlled exit from inside a safeguarded area, improving operator safety in enclosed machine cells and robotic applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial automation production lines.
- Robotics safety guarding systems.
- CNC machines and tooling equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Enclosed safety cells and access-controlled areas.
